It’s been a bit since Tom has been with us, but he’s back on the podcast today!
We thought it would be fun to do a little summer ‘recap’ episode, since summer is officially coming to a close. In today’s episode, we talk about anxiety and string fence, and more of what’s been happening in our lives recently. Tom dealt with the aftermath of a tornado, and has spent a lot of time branding and string fencing. He even had his first encounter with what we think was anxiety, regarding weaning cows. The weaning process has very much been a learning experience for us over the years, and we’ve definitely adjusted what has worked well (and not so well).
We also chat about some other fun events like our epic kayaking adventure, unforgettable memories spent with our kids and their 4H showings at the local fair, and more. Summer was a blast and goodness, it flew by (like it usually does)! Now we’re running around and trying to keep up with our kids, and all of their sports this fall.
Maybe you weren’t experiencing anxiety or dealing with string fencing and cows, but whatever you were doing, we hope you thoroughly enjoyed your summer!
In this episode, Anxiety and String Fence with Tom, we cover:
- Branding and string fencing + Tom’s recent (and first) experience with anxiety
- Preparation for weaning the cows and calves + how this has gone for us in the past
- Our epic kayaking adventure + the pride and excitement we felt for our kids showing at the fair

More about the Good Movement Draws Good Movement podcast:
In stockmanship (the art and science of handling cattle in a safe, effective, low-stress manner), we have this phrase . . . good movement draws good movement.
It’s this thing that happens when we ask a small group of cattle, maybe a cow, or a pair to move out in a certain direction and their movement draws the whole herd into moving in the same direction.
Good movement happens when we approach the cattle with a positive attitude, read and really listen to what they’re telling us, and communicate accordingly.
We don’t approach the aware, flighty cattle the same as we do the tame, docile cattle. We adjust ourselves, our energy, and approach, and communicate with each differently.
These adjustments help us effectively draw good movement from each, which then draws good movement from the herd. But it starts with us.
The same is true for humans. Good movement starts with us.
Welcome to Good Movement Draws Good Movement, the podcast where farmers, ranchers, and rural folks can grow relationally through awareness, understanding, and effective communication.
Hey, it’s me – T. I’m your host, and I, along with my guests, will be covering topics related to drawing good movement – things like self and social awareness, brain science, positive psychology, extending grace, and so much more.
We’ll share tools that can help you understand why you are the way you are, why others are the way they are, and how you can use that to step out of self-told lies with grace and compassion to draw good movement in conversations, relationships, and life in rural America.
Tune in every Tuesday and make sure to hit subscribe so you never miss an episode! Let’s go draw good movement!
